Viacheslav Borshchev delivered a blistering finish that should likely punch his ticket to the UFC.
Borshchev improved his pro record to 5-1 with an incredible one-punch KO in the second round of an exciting lightweight tilt on Dana White’s Contender Series Season 5, Week 7 against Chris Duncan. The Team Alpha Male standout had Duncan hurt in the first before his game opponent was able to get the fight to the mat.
When the second round began, Borshchev landed a counter left hand right on the button that put Duncan out.
One and DONE!!!

Borshchev has now won three straight, finishing all of them, with the previous two victories taking place in Titan FC. The 29-year-old has also competed twice for LFA, splitting those two appearances.
The loss snapped Duncan’s seven-fight winning streak. The Scottish fighter had finished all of his previous opponents, including a trio of TKO wins under the Bellator MMA banner.
